An open letter to UCLU from four former UCLU Hall Representatives.
Something has gone horribly wrong with the current round of UCLU Autumn Elections. Anybody who has looked at the candidate line-up for the Halls Representative elections will have noticed that for 17 vacant positions there has only been one nomination. When the elections are over, 16 UCL halls – over 4,000 students – will be without a union representative. This is an embarrassing all-time low for the union and an extremely worrying development from the point of view of campus democracy, student representation and union accountability. We therefore call on the Sabbatical Officers responsible for promoting and running elections to take concrete and effective measures to re-open nominations for Halls Representatives.
Whenever there is a poor result in participation there is a tendency among UCL managers and UCLU bureaucrats alike to lay the blame on us, the students, for being too lazy. We strongly refute this claim and maintain that the explanation for this nose-dive in participation lies squarely on the desk of our Sabbatical Officers.
But the truth is students do care about our local community and our halls. In past years there have been several halls reps elected and even more candidates in the Autumn Elections. Moreover, every year, more students volunteer as elected reps on halls committees. The argument that we are "too lazy to engage" or that "some years students just don't take part" doesn't hold up when compared to the actual numbers who volunteer every year, if given the opportunity. The problem here is not an unwillingness to represent our halls.
This failure to encourage new students to take part is purely down to one variable: a disastrous lack of promotion by UCLU. An outside observer could be forgiven for thinking the elections were being kept secret. Between 28 September and 10 October (when nominations closed) a bare minimum of effort was put into informing freshers about nominations. The Education and Campaigns Officer – charged with running Autumn Elections – posted no more than two tweets about nominations. The Sustainability Engagement and Operations Officer – the Sabb responsible for union democracy – tweeted only once, and mentioned nominations in one blog post (two days before they closed).
The all-student emails mentioned Halls Rep nominations only once since the start of term, seemingly only as an afterthought. Until today, looking at the Union website, it was impossible to tell that elections are ongoing and there was not a single news item posted declaring Halls Rep nominations open for students. Finally, the union Facebook page mentioned nominations only once in two weeks (again, only two days before they closed).
Proper engagement with freshers requires a lot more than tweets but these examples demonstrate that not even the simplest forms of communication with the student body were used by the Sabbs to inform new students about elections. There is so much more that could have been done at virtually no cost to the Union. Sadly, this is only one part of a wider trend of disregard for union democracy – the inquorate general assembly and the lack of promotion for it being yet another example.
Halls Reps are volunteers but deal with a huge amount of important day-to-day issues that students face. Last year union reps in halls made sure that students weren't fined arbitrarily by management, that there were social committees organising events and parties, that UCL was successfully held to account over service failures and much, much more.
But, for students in halls to channel our commitment into our community, we need to be informed that these opportunities exist. Having a union rep at a hall makes a real difference for hundreds of students. We do not want this option to be deprived thousands of new UCL students and it is not fair to say that students had a chance to stand in elections that they were barely informed about. It takes more to reach most freshers than a vague email, some flyers and two tweets. Democracy requires effort. But it is worth it in the long run.
We demand a simple solution: that nominations be re-opened for the Halls Rep elections and that the nomination and voting period be extended to coincide with the STaR elections, or as long as necessary to run a sufficient promotion campaign. There also has to be nominations opened for reps at the former Institute of Education Halls, which now fall under the UCLU remit. This is a simple option that would allow students in hall a genuine chance to work for their local communities and save our grassroots democracy from withering embarrassingly as a result of poor management.

Ridley Scott's progeny, Luke Scott, takes on themes similar to his father's work in his feature directorial debut, "Morgan." In a story that contemplates the emotional boundaries and consequences of artificial intelligence, Seth W. Owen's script finds an appropriate marriage between material and yes, family legacy.
In Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Deckard was compelled by the state to hunt for replicants. In "Morgan," artificial intelligence is a privatized affair. Lee Weathers (Kate Mara), a corporate fixer/troubleshooter, is dispatched to a remote lab to check on the status of one of her company's assets, a girl known as Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy) to her ad-hoc family of scientist caretakers.
In this iteration of artificial intelligence, the focus is on developing emotion, and the scientists have bonded with the girl of nearly psychic ability, who is almost fully grown at age 5. Nature walks and birthday parties are part of the routine until Morgan loses her temper with Kathy (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and gouges her eye out. Lee's job is to assess the situation and decide on a course of action.
Her task is complicated by the close relationships between Morgan and the scientists — team leader (Michelle Yeoh), free-spirited behaviorist (Rose Leslie), an idealistic geneticist (Toby Jones), their fastidious coordinator (Michael Yare), and a couple of loving doctors, (Chris Sullivan and Vinette Robinson). Some are unwilling to terminate her, despite the increasing levels of violence when provoked. With dissent among the ranks, and murderous chaos breaking out, only Lee can take control of the situation.
"Morgan" takes its place in the canon of awesome female-driven sci-fi, including "Alien" and "T2." Neither Lee nor Morgan are clearly heroine or villain — Lee's only attempting to do her job and preserve the asset, while Morgan is attempting to preserve the asset, herself. The two tangle with an efficient violence, landing blows and drawing blood with nary a flinch. It's a fascinating take on the possibilities and limits of artificial intelligence and artificial emotion, and it brings up questions about the rights and autonomy of these creatures.
The failure of "Morgan" is its lack of restraint. The first half of the film is as tightly controlled as the lab. The second half descends into a bloodbath, and the story twists are spoken aloud. But it's far more fun when just a theory. Over-explanation takes a film from an eerie think piece to a banal sci-fi thriller; it robs you of the chance to trade post-film hypotheses. That kind of ambiguity makes "Blade Runner" a classic; the lack of ambiguity means "Morgan" strays into run-of-the-mill genre territory, despite its deeper ideas.
Movie review
Rated R for brutal violence, and some language. 1:32. Fayette Mall, Georgetown, Hamburg, Nicholasville, Richmond, Winchester.

Marketing Operations scales and improves visibility with Wrike
Watch the Interview3:08
Brian Lam
Marketing Project Manager
Kate Chalmers
Director of Marketing Operations
Their story
Quality of work suffered and project visibility was poor while efforts were focused on managing a high volume of tasks
Hootsuite is the most widely used social media platform with over 10 million customers in 175 countries around the world. As the growth of customers and marketing assets began to rapidly increase, the marketing operations team at Hootsuite had to figure out a way to manage the flow of tasks. Task volume quickly became their biggest challenge as it grew harder to track progress and communicate across a number of different spreadsheets and platforms. Since each department used tools differently, it became difficult to find the right data. "We had no way to pull reports, so there was no way of knowing how many projects we were doing, who we were doing them for, or how long it was taking us," says Kate Chalmers, Director of Marketing Operations.
Without a way to manage the tasks, the quality of work began to suffer because of poor task management. "Because of the volume of projects, we were not able to spend as much time on the high value projects as we desired" says Brian Lam, Marketing Project Manager.
Resources were also difficult to track. With little to no visibility into projects, resources were wasted and efforts sometimes duplicated which was very time consuming. Productivity began suffering and the marketing ops team began to look into new tools to improve their work management.
I think it's amazing to be able to have a tool that helps us collaborate, and to be surrounded by people that have the same vision and really want to get everything done, and done beautifully.
Their victory
Wrike's ability to provide transparency to stakeholders and prioritize tasks helps management report on productivity levels
Wrike provided a centralized location to handle the large volume of tasks and report on productivity. "Without Wrike, it becomes threads and threads of emails," says Lam, "sometimes you might have 5 or 6 threads of emails about the same project. With Wrike, we have a central location for the stakeholders and all the content creators to communicate; work out the timeline, content, design, or copy issues together." With this centralized tool, the marketing ops team can compare quarterly reports and track productivity over time. "We've got a specific structure that we've set up in Wrike so we can look at our campaigns and releases by quarter, and compare quarter over quarter what we're doing," says Chalmers, "I report quarterly to executives on how many projects we've done and how long it takes us to go to market. We're constantly wanting to make sure we're remaining stable or getting faster at what we do."
The marketing ops team was not only able to provide visibility into their organization, but also organize and structure their workflow based on task priority. "Wrike helps us prioritize what's important and helps de-prioritize things that can be shelved for a later time when we have time to do it," says Lam.
Hootsuite used an upcoming email campaign as a project to implement Wrike. They used Wrike to help coordinate and manage the translation and design as well as help with the localization into different markets. With the help of Wrike, the campaign was launched on time to all of their customers, globally. "The campaign was very successful and we're very happy we used Wrike for it," says Chalmers.
Their superpowers
Duplicating Tasks
Because several of the marketing ops tasks are recurring, such as sending out emails and campaigns, one of the most helpful tools in Wrike is the ability to duplicate tasks. Instead of starting from scratch every week, someone from the team just assigns a task and instantly duplicates it for the future. This helps save time and keep processes and requests consistent from week to week.
Another feature the team uses everyday is the @mentions. Just like in social media, when you @mention someone they are instantly notified within the software and emailed. "I use this to follow up with people on specific tasks, statuses, and try and gauge where they're at. It's very useful in the sense that it sends them an email right away and we can quickly get a response and a status update that way," says Chalmers.
Workload View
When Hootsuite receives requests for a high impact creative project, the marketing ops team uses the workload view to find the most available person to complete it on time. This level of visibility helps the team get work done faster, and prevents any individual from becoming overloaded and over stressed.

Yesterday afternoon a friend and I ventured up the coast in search of seaside dreams to clear a hectic week from our minds. What we found was pinot, smoked salmon pizza and paradise….
I can not wait for summer in this corner of the world!

Steroid isolation , depending on context, is the isolation of chemical matter required for chemical structure elucidation, derivitzation or degradation chemistry, biological testing, and other research needs (generally milligrams to grams, but often more [38] or the isolation of "analytical quantities" of the substance of interest (where the focus is on identifying and quantifying the substance (for example, in biological tissue or fluid). The amount isolated depends on the analytical method, but is generally less than one microgram. [39] [ page needed ] The methods of isolation to achieve the two scales of product are distinct, but include extraction , precipitation, adsorption , chromatography , and crystallization . In both cases, the isolated substance is purified to chemical homogeneity; combined separation and analytical methods, such as LC-MS , are chosen to be "orthogonal"—achieving their separations based on distinct modes of interaction between substance and isolating matrix—to detect a single species in the pure sample. Structure determination refers to the methods to determine the chemical structure of an isolated pure steroid, using an evolving array of chemical and physical methods which have included NMR and small-molecule crystallography . [2] : 10–19 Methods of analysis overlap both of the above areas, emphasizing analytical methods to determining if a steroid is present in a mixture and determining its quantity. [39]
The common side effects of oxymetholone include depression , lethargy , headache , swelling , rapid weight gain , priapism , changes in skin color, urination problems, nausea , vomiting , stomach pain (if taken on an empty stomach), loss of appetite , jaundice , breast swelling in men, feeling restless or excited, insomnia , and diarrhea . [7] In women, side effects also include acne , changes in menstrual periods , voice deepening , hair growth on the chin or chest , pattern hair loss , enlarged clitoris , and changes in sex drive . [5] [7] Because of its 17α-alkylated structure, oxymetholone is hepatotoxic . [5] Long term use of the drug can cause a variety of serious ailments, including hepatitis , liver cancer , and cirrhosis ; therefore periodic liver function tests are recommended for those taking oxymetholone.

Watch This: David Lynch Interview from 1979
"It's got to be a certain kind of comedy in order to make the switch into a sort of fear. In a lot of comedies you begin to feel too safe and then it's hard to switch over. But this is a
kind of comedy and it can easily slide into sort of a fearful situation."
Here's a non-professional interview with David Lynch about ERASERHEAD, his filmmaking techniques and his philosophy of film. There's a cut-in of viewers' immediate post-screening responses and lots and lots of gems presented in Lynch's trademark Wonder-Bread flat voice.

The Last Witch Hunter Trailer (2015)
"Hunt forever." 21 October 2015 Adventure, Fantasy, Action 106 mins
The modern world holds many secrets, but by far the most astounding is that witches still live among us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world and putting an end to the human race once and for all. Armies of witch hunters have battled this unnatural enemy for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who many years ago slayed the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments right before her death, the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter. Today, Kaulder is the last living hunter who has spent his immortal life tracking down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost family.

Link: PayPal Taps the Developer Community to Build Next-Gen Payment Apps
We haven't actually released new APIs; what we have done is that we announced a set of APIs on November 3rd, which was our adaptive suite. Adaptive suite APIs include adaptive payments and adaptive accounts. Then we also announced our authentications and permissions API. What we had done at Innovate was to make those APIs exclusive — adaptive account, authentications and permissions, exclusive to the attendees of the conference. We did a full-on release for those APIs on November 3rd when we announced the platform. But we've had an overwhelming response from the community where people where saying, "You're limiting us from actually using these APIs. Is there any ability for us to get these early on rather than to wait until 2010?" Based on the feedback, based on what people were looking for, we decided to open it up to everyone now, instead of sometime in 2010.
This quote is from Naveed Anwar of PayPal. It's supposed to shed some light on the new PalPal platform. But I feel like I've been following the reboot of the PayPal platform for a month and a half now, and I'm still not sure I understand just how it's supposed to help me. Apparently there is some conference that I was supposed to have attended? And if there are no new APIs, what has changed? Adaptive suite? What is that?
It's not really possible to get the information you'd want from their web site, which at the moment is dominated by information about a new developer contest. (Developer contests are problematic on their own, as I've written about here previously.)
I'm really concerned that PayPal, like Yahoo and others, is going to miss a huge opportunity here by failing to articulate its vision in a straightforward way. (On second thought, screw the vision. Maybe just focus on saying what your products and services do on your web page first.)

Thank you for noting my support for Mike Beebe. I came early and stayed late! I had the pleasure of serving with our governor-elect when we were both young legislators in the 1980s. I found him to be a pragmatic consensus builder who worked with people rather than with a specific political party. As one of six Republicans in the Arkansas House of Representatives in 1985, he treated me with great courtesy and respect. Arkansans are about relationships, friendships and loyalty. As to switching sides, I always considered myself to be a pretty independent person as well as an independent legislator. I was endorsed by the AEA and the AFL/CIO during my second campaign. When elected during the mid-1980s, I always considered myself a fiscal conservative and a person who believed in a trim, well-run state government. The last election made it fairly obvious that the people of Arkansas were having trouble recognizing a party which seemed to have lost its way. Creating fear of immigrants and engaging in gay bashing is not what the Republican Party of Arkansas needs to be about. Unless they return to more moderate, mainstream beliefs, I think they are going to see a further slide in those they elect.

City homeless effort
The Arkansas Homeless Coalition issues the following statement regarding the Dec. 12 announcement of the selection of Jimmy Pritchett as Little Rock Homeless Services coordinator by City Manager Bruce Moore.
In a Dec. 13 morning meeting of the Arkansas Homeless Coalition, the members expressed their disappointment and shared amazement at Mr. Moore's selection of Pritchett. Pritchett was a city employee for many years in code enforcement, and later in neighborhood programs. Homeless advocates of the Arkansas Homeless Coalition have fought the city since 2004 over the methods of both entities in destroying and throwing away possessions of the homeless, in attempts to drive homeless out of the city, and for offering no alternatives for their very real need for a place to exist. Advocates have experienced with both code enforcement and with neighborhood programs, instances of these entities sweeping homeless camps and making promises of homeless assistance that have never materialized.
Advocates have spent three years working with the different efforts of the city to develop a 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness. The position of a Little Rock Homeless Services coordinator has always been addressed in the planning process as a person who can work to secure funding to build a day resource center, a person who can bring the business community and homeless service providers together to help end homelessness through joint cooperation, and a person who can develop the programs required to meet the myriad of needs of the homeless.
The news release from Moore quotes David Sink as saying, "Jimmy Pritchett knows City Hall." This quote very succinctly sums up the concerns of homeless advocates. The same release quotes Estella Morris saying, "Jimmy will have a steep learning curve." Again, this is also our concern. Homeless people need help now. Homeless advocates are concerned that the city has simply created another position whose duty it will be to rid the downtown of the homeless by destroying their camps, and attempting to drive the homeless from one area to another, then to another.
Many people gave freely of their time to develop the 10-year plan. Advocates held forth the slightest hope that some positive action could come from the plan's development. The homeless can not simply disappear from downtown, midtown, east, west, south, or North Little Rock until they have alternatives to living on the streets.
Sandra R. Wilson, Chair
Arkansas Homeless Coalition
I championed a candidate for the position of homeless coordinator who had experience as a professional working with the target population and who had worked tirelessly with those of us on the front lines of the war against hunger. This person worked daily for months volunteering her time helping me feed breakfast at the center on Markham Street.
I don't know Jimmy Pritchett. I've never seen him give a blanket or a coat to a homeless person or arrive before 7 a.m. to fix coffee. He hasn't (to my knowledge) raised one dime to feed the homeless. I know he hasn't boiled an egg or passed out a single donut. From the news release his main qualification for the job is that he knows how City Hall works. Well, I know how City Hall works. Business interests and political cronyism supersede the public interest.
I am finally and truly disgusted with the city of Little Rock. Those of us who have been trying to feed the hungry were lied to about the building on Markham Street. It has not sold. We were promised support in getting another place for feeding. That has not happened. Time and time again we find a building and then business and political interests take precedence and we are left hanging. And the hungry and homeless are still hungry and homeless.
I predict that a year from now there will be no permanent center. There will be no temporary center, and any help for the homeless will be provided by beleaguered volunteers who are working in the elements without any support from the city. In fact, they will be working as they are now, despite the underhanded efforts of the city of Little Rock.

Save tennis courts
The justification offered recently in a Democrat-Gazette article for the destruction of the tennis center in War Memorial Park is that "there are 16 city parks that feature at least one tennis court." But most are concrete surfaces, without tennis nets and with basketball goals at each end.
The most prominent falsehood in the article is that the Walker Tennis Center, built in 1959, "was built more than 20 years after the football stadium." War Memorial Stadium was, of course, as everyone in Little Rock should know, constructed after World War II, which ended in 1945. The reporter apparently thinks it was built as the Hoover depression ended, not after FDR led this nation to victory after Pearl Harbor — yet another way Republican papers and reporters distort facts.

"It's okay to be completely imperfect," declared Gabrielle Union during our recent webcam chat (watch below) when asked what the message was of her hit BET drama series "Being Mary Jane." As she explained, "Life is extremely messy and not perfect and not tied up. The loose ends are very rarely tied up, so that's what we offer."
Join the heated Emmy discussions going on
right now in the red-hot message boards
Why did she shift from her successful film career ("Good Deeds," "Think Like a Man") to this full-time TV role as a talk show host in search of the perfect man? "This was a great opportunity because it just so happened to have an amazing character, great writing, a creative team that I love and respect and the check cleared!" The show was created by Mara Brock Akil, the talent behind the long-running laffers "Girlfriends" and "The Game."
For her performance in the feature-length pilot that aired last summer, Union won a NAACP Image Award, which she found to be a very humbling experience. And she is in contention for the Best Actress prize at the BET Awards, which will air on June 29.
The network has sent TV academy voters a DVD that includes the pilot, episode three ("The Huxtables Have Fallen") and episode eight ("Uber Love), which was the season finale. She revealed that last one was her favorite because of all those juicy scenes opposite her real-life friends Lisa Vidal and Robinne Lee.
"You can expect a lot of surprises," Union teased about the second season currently shooting in Atlanta. "If you thought she was off the chain or out of pocket the first season, oh, you've seen nothing." She has also found the new season particularly challenging from an acting perspective, assessing, "It's the most raw and most vulnerable I've been as an actor."
Will Union break into the Best Drama Actress race at the Emmys? After watching our chat, use the easy drag-and-drop menu below to make your predictions.

About Jayna
I found my love for Yoga in India 7 Years ago, having already gained extensive knowledge of the body and holistic health throughout my life from my professional dance training and passion for movement.
My classes range from slow, connected flows, to upbeat dynamic practices. Whichever style I am teaching my aim is to always balance the body, mind and heart. I do this by focusing on the connection to our spirit in combination with strength and correct alignment. I aim to nourish and support whoever is on the mat whether you are a total beginner or experienced Yogi. I am also also a musician therefore music plays a big importance in KIND from Yoga playlists for class to live music and mantra singing and retreats.
I trained at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary dance then continued to work in dance, improvisation, choreography and somatic practices. I became passionate about Vipassana meditation at 22 and have continued to explore different techniques of meditation which have, alongside yoga and a life of self inquiry, changed my life immensely. I completed my 200 hour Yoga alliance teacher training with Shiva Shakti Yoga school in 2014 in Goa. I opened KIND as a studio space originally in 2014, I now have the great opportunity of sharing KIND further into the London community and I am very much enjoying KIND's nomadic new energy!

Colts | Kamar Aiken likely to play
Sun, 24 Sep 2017 05:59:58 -0700
Indianapolis Colts WR Kamar Aiken (hip) is expected to play in Week 3's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Aiken was a limited participant in practice throughout the week and was listed as questionable on the injury report. Despite the somewhat favorable matchup, the Colts possess one of the league's worst passing offenses, so Aiken can be ignored in most fantasy formats.

'Secret Cargo' had a real original trilogy feel, hinting that those events are not far off. From the inclusion of Mothma to Ezra's fancy flying in that Y-wing, this episode is akin to what we saw during Rogue One – that is, the Rebellion risking it all, narrowly managing to come out on top. Next week it's a covert mission for AP-5 and Chopper as they infiltrate an Imperial base in order to steal some desperately needed codes; just another day in the life of the Rebel Alliance.
Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Episode 18 Spoilers
In 'Secret Cargo', Mothma is allowed to shine even more, demonstrating just why the determined senator will eventually become chancellor of the New Republic. But that is still years away, and Mothma must first unite the many Rebel cells under one banner, creating a coalition capable of destroying the Empire and freeing the galaxy of its tyrannical rule. Coming aboard the Ghost while under Imperial fire, Mothma remains cool under pressure, detaching the Ghost from the damaged transport in the nick of time. And later, when hailed by Governor Pryce demanding they surrender, Mothma cleverly stalls, displaying all the negotiating skill of a seasoned and sly politician. As Zeb remarks at the top of the episode while watching Mothma addresses the Senate: "Lady's got guts."
While the Rebellion is becoming a force to be reckoned with, adding more allies to their cause, the Empire isn't just twiddling their thumbs and doing nothing. In fact, with each passing episode, Thrawn is getting closer to finding the location of Phoenix Squadron's base. And in 'Secret Cargo', Thrawn knows precisely where the Ghost is taking Mothma and how they intend to get there, devising an (almost) foolproof plan to apprehend the rogue senator.
It's only thanks to the indomitable spirit of the Rebels and some sheer luck that they manage to escape, and it isn't without causalities. Were it Thrawn himself and not his underlings, Mothma may very well have not made it to Dantooine. That doesn't really bode well for the Rebellion, and especially the Ghost and her crew, hinting that season 3 could end on a low note for our heroes.

Robert Paul Smith said, 'B is for breasts, of which ladies have two; once prized for the function, now for the view.' In the chapter headed 'Breasts' in my latest book, I ask the question, 'Are breasts sexual organs?' In a happy mood I read one man's view; 'When shopping, we are all familiar with the offer, "Two for the price of one". Women are like that, you suck on one and she offers you the other'.
There is no doubt that these anatomical wonders are appreciated and enjoyed by both sexes; quite apart from their basic function – to feed their babies – nobody can deny their attraction, and ability to display a girl's femininity. And variety adds to the pleasure; big ones, small ones, pert nipples, wide areolae, from porcelain pink to honey-hew to mahogany and all flesh tones in between. Yes, we are ALL different.
So when something goes wrong, it is a catastrophe. For the woman, firstly, and then all the folk – of both sexes – around her. Sixteen years ago my wife had breast cancer and went through all the procedures to effect a cure; it is now simply a distant memory, but unforgettable nonetheless. No enduring after-effects; just left with an ability to counsel wisely on the subject to those who might be going through the same pain.
But no matter how experienced, or wise, you may be, nobody can prepare you for the shock. Yesterday our daughter told us she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am in shock as I write this. We all have our different ways of coping with disturbing or shocking news; I write. We know that the prognosis is good and very positive, but it doesn't change the effect this has on everybody's state of mind.
Thank you for listening to me today; it is much appreciated.
Happy love-making.

TAGLINE: "Escape before it rips you apart" / "You've been mangled."
IMDB rating: 2.4/10
It's a secret that Hollywood has kept very well hidden for almost four decades but there are actually two Lance Henriksens.
Lance Henriksen and… Lance Henriksen. Spot the difference.
Firstly – there's the intense, versatile character actor with the craggy face and a lifetime behind the eyes who started out an impressive career with bit parts in 'Dog Day Afternoon,' 'Network' and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' before making it big in the likes of 'Jagged Edge,' 'Near Dark' and X-Files-esque TV thriller 'Millennium' – while remaining one of only two actors to face off against a Terminator, a Predator and, thrice, an Alien.
Then there's the other Lance Henriksen – the star of such classic movies as 'Unspeakable' (as apt a title as you'd ever hope to come across) and 'The Untold' (which unfortunately failed to remain so), whose only brush with anything that has seen the inside of an actual cinema was the disastrous video game crossover 'Super Mario Bros.'
Weirdly, to anyone other than immediate family members, both actors look pretty much identical – so much so that their respective talent agencies often field calls from oblivious casting directors looking to hire the other Henriksen. It's a practice comically referred to along the corridors of Hollywood power as "Second Chance Lance." So the story goes this whole situation served as inspiration for the Steve Martin / Eddie Murphy / Eddie Murphy comedy 'Bowfinger.'
Even for those in the know, picking the two Lances apart in the flesh is a little tricky. On screen, however, it's an absolute doddle. If the Lance Henriksen movie you're currently watching is a balls-to-the-wall sci-fi actioner, a hyper stylised neo-western or a heart-stopping time travel adventure – it's the former. But if you're watching a mind-numbing cavalcade of tired clichés, obvious plot twists and heart-breaking tedium, it's most definitely the latter. However, even given these criteria, it's still nigh on impossible to work out which of the two Lances appears opposite Jean Claude Van Damme in 'Hard Target.'
As you've no doubt guessed 'The Mangler 2' belongs on the second Lance's CV.
Bearing a striking lack of similarity to its predecessor[1], the movie sees a good-girl-gone-bad packed off to a prestigious private high school – the Royal Collegiate College no less – where her nifty hacking skills cause a mysterious computer virus to infect the school's state of the art security system. The rest of the student body have been packed off on a suspiciously convenient impromptu field trip (no doubt to slash the cost of film extras), so it's left to a group of five identically disparate students – plus one Franglais chef – to survive the night when the now sentient central computer goes nuts and embarks on a kill-crazy rampage.
Technical transgressions – as well as bloody huge gaps in logic – be damned. No one involved in the film seems to care that none of it makes any sense. So why should we?
Running at a seemingly slim 97 minutes 'The Mangler 2' should be an easy-come, easy-go affair – a forgettable slice of horror hokum, barely long enough to bring about discomfort let alone annoyance. But somehow the filmmakers have inserted a computer virus of their own into the actual DVD which causes time itself to slow down. We swear we looked out of the window midway through the movie to see people moving at double and triple speed outside. Much of the running time is spent on superfluous nonsense and pointless filler that is meant to add a sense of foreboding, but just comes across as deathly dull. An apparently endless discussion of Hollywood movies with porn-a-like titles is – we presume – supposed to create a group dynamic amongst our protagonists, effectively endearing them to the audience as "real people." The problem is that this – like the multitude of similarly irrelevant time-killers during the 48 life-draining minutes that precede any real action – hasn't been crafted with anything like the requisite skill to create sufficient empathy or even passing interest in any of those concerned. It just heightens our desire to see them promptly mangled.
Even when the movie really should kick into gear, it splutters and stumbles to a conclusion that's ultimately an insult to both those on screen and those staring agog from their sofa as they contemplate the life they could have lived had this silage heap of a movie not stopped it dead in its tracks.
It's probably best to gloss over the details of Lance Henriksen's actual involvement in the film – as Lance himself would probably prefer. Safe to say that he starts off as the school's principled principle and ends it in screaming agony courtesy of a little Superman III / Demon Seed body horror – although one half-glance at the DVD cover or frustratingly all-encompassing trailer should give the whole game away. Lord knows how much of the movie's $4m budget (yes, that's dollars, not Chilean pesos) found its way into Henriksen's bank account following this debacle but it wasn't anywhere near enough – plus they've managed to spell his name wrong in the credits.
Supposedly there is a version of the movie out on DVD that has a glitch in the playing mechanism which skips approximately 2 minutes of the movie and completely excises the death of a major character. We can't help thinking that the version we've seen must have had these glitches all the way through.
We apologise if our analysis of 'The Mangler 2' is a little light on good-humoured criticism and playful badinage. The fact that our first aide memoire after finishing the movie was "We've been assaulted by a film" should provide some indication of the mess it left us in.
[1] Adapted – read "mangled" – from a Stephen King short story and starring Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund, 'The Mangler' features a laundry folding machine which develops a taste for human flesh after being possessed by a demon from Hell. The movie was directed by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre / Salem's Lot / Poltergeist) and released in March 1995 to critical indifference and modest box office.
